On Wednesday afternoon, police in Esch-sur-Alzette arrested a man for disorderly behaviour on Avenue de la Gare. The man, who was said to be heavily intoxicated, had attacked a person outside a café, although the latter escaped unscathed. The drunken man continued to fight even when police arrived, so he was taken to a cell to sober up after a doctor's check-up. The police report stated the man showed aggression towards both medical staff and officers, spitting at one of the latter.
On Wednesday evening a woman was attacked by a man on Rue du Commerce in Luxembourg City, shortly before 11pm. The attacker grabbed her by the neck and hit her in the face. The woman's partner intervened, hitting the attacker over the head with a glass bottle. The perpetrator then fled with a bloody head wound towards the station where he approached police. Both the assault victim and her partner also reported the incident. All three had been drinking prior to the assault, although the attacker later resisted medical treatment and behaved aggressively towards police. He was taken into custody for the night as a result. Both men involved will be prosecuted for the exchange of blows.
Finally, a man was assaulted shortly before midnight in the Gare district, after a group of people hit him with fists and an iron bar. They fled with the victim's valuables, including his mobile phone. Police have opened an investigation after they were unable to locate the perpetrators immediately following the incident.
